bow the stock Of the Mine Took Such q

HELENA, March 1870 many conflicting
reports have been circulated within the
last few days regarding the strike in the
West Granite mine at Philipsburg. that
your correspondent, in order to answer
the questions propounded by every one
just now, determined to learn the truth il
possible. and to that end sought and OBJ
tained an interview with prominent di-
rector OF the company. He states that
the recent boom was caused
by reports received from the mine
which came first to Manager
Pardee while he was on the train bound
here during the freshet. The matter leaked
out and soon became a current rumor, and
although, on account of the suspension oi
travel, the report could not be confirmed by
the personal inspection OF the manager the
stock bounded rapidly up here and in st.
LOUIS to So. Pardee was besieged from all
sides for confirmation of the rumors, but
although he was entirely confident
there was a bona fide strike, he
reirained from strengthening the
report as much as possible until he
could become assured OF the nature OF the
md by personal investigation. As soon as
the road opened. he left for Philipsbnrg
ana after making thorough examination,
wires the officers OF the company that the

Death OF q Waterloo Veteran,

The death at Bar-sur-Aube is announced
OF M. Mason de Morfontaine, formerly
senator for the department. The deceased,
who was born in 1896, entered the army
as simple private in 1914, and fought in
all the last campaigns OF the Empire. He
was wounded at Waterloo. Strange as it
may seem, this veteran soldier had never
visited Fontainebleau until 1880, when
he visited this palace with party of sena-
tors and deputies on q special excursion.
By a singular coincidence it happened that
it was an Englishman, R. P. Fox, one of
the party, who escorted NJ. Mason de
Morfontaine over the palace and showed
him, for the first time in his life, the table
on which the Emperor, under whom he had
90 CALAMITY served. signed his abdication
in 1916. The aged soldier appeared to be
greatly affected by the "reminiscences thus
summoned up, although he quickly regained
his self-composure, and with martial pride
narrated. in his Enthusiastically ami.
mated style, some of his experiences while
serving under the banner OF the great Em-
perOr.

and have found several families on the

used with good results, and numerous set

Chinese Gamb bling Houses Raided.

PHILADELPHIA. March 2O.-Lieutenant
Walton, of the Sixth Police District, with a
squad of twenty-four officers, tonight
raided six Of the leading Chinese gambling
places, and succeeded in capturing 233 Chi
namen. together with large quantity of
gambling paraphernalia. opium-smoking
outfits and other fixtures. All the places
raided are in the neighborhood of Ninth
and Race streets, and the vicinity is the
rendezvous of almost the entire Chinese
population on Sunday. The fact of gam.
bling having been carried on so
openly, and the noise raised by such
a large congregation of Celestials has been
a source OF frequent complaint to the au-
thorities, and warrants were sworn out
and placed in the hands of the Sixth Dis.

THE CZAR.
The Late Attempt on His Life7Omcial
Declaration.

The Late Attempt on His Lifeaomc.a!
Declaration.
ST. PETERsBURG, March 19.-The follow
ing is an authorized official declaration
concerning the attempt on the life of the
Car: It is not believed that the active So
ciety of the Constitutional party has such
an extensive and influential following as
some foreign journals represent. The Con.
stitutionalists, instead OF being wholly dis
tinct from the Nihilists, are nothing but the
executors OF a milder programme, cloaking
the violent methods of Nihilism SO
as to secure certain amount
of toleration from the educated and
thoughtful classes in Russia. The
Cars advisers are convinced, from long
observation, that the influential classes
in Russia do not consider that the time
has yet arrived in the political development
of the Empire for the introduction of con-
stitutional government by His Majesty,
nor do the Pan-Slavist party desire con-
stitutionalism. On the contrary, they
ment, tempered by a just administration
OF codified law. is desired until Russian ter
ritoral expansion has reached the limits
set for it for Pan-Slavist ideas. The
socialism recently promoted in Germany
by Bismarck is bei' g carefully st udied by
the Russian Government, the Car being
we'll disposed in favor Of such progressive
economic changes in the territory over
which Russia holds sway as shall conduce
to the happiness and welfare of the Rus.
sian people. The Car was deeply i'm
pressed by the terrible circumstances under
which his father met his death. The last
attempt upon his life projected by Nihilists
produced a feeling Of horror. Still it is un-
likely that it will lead to any change of his
previous policy. His Majesty cannot but
view with mingled bitterness and regret
the position in which he is
ills continually besetting him. He
deplores the necessity which constantly ex-
lists for costly, expensive precautions for
his personal safety when he desires to
travel or even move beyond the precincts
OF his palace. These restrictions impede
his movements and prevent his seeing his
people as they are and judging for himself
their needs. The Cars aver
sion to plunging Russia into a ruinous and
fruitless war continues as great as ever. No
change in his convictions in this respect is
expected by his advisers. except in con-
formity with his views on Russia q imperial
interests.

AN ATTORNEYS THREATS.
Action Brought for Intimidating . Grand
Jury.

RICHMOND March 21.-Mr. Royal, coun-
sci for the English Council OF Foreign Bond
holder and representing their affairs in
connection with the Virginia debt, was to-
day convicted in Hastings Court of intimi-
dating the Grand Jury of that court aud
was fined $3.50. This case is the result OF
information filed last month against Roy
all by the Commonwealth attorney, who
charged that at the January term of the
court, because the Grand Jury presented
indictments against Royal for "Barratry"
he (Royall) instituted against individual
members of the Grand J-ry for 10000
each. claimed because OF their action in
bringing the indictments. Furthermore
Royal was charged with saying through
the press and otherwise, that
he would sue every grand juror Who in the
future should indict him or his clients for
acts done in alleged violation of law, for
which he had already been indicted, and
that in pursuance of that threat he Roy
ally had attempted to intimidate and i'm
pede the Grand Jury appointed for the
February term, SO that they had declined
to bring an indictment in against him for
fear OF suits for damage. Mr.. Royal re-
fuses to pay the fine, and is held in GUS
tody, and will probably sleep in Jail to-
night. He will apply for writ OF habeas
corpus.

fern was struck in tho face with brick.
His assailant was arrested and the
storm broke forth. Ten or more pistol
shots we're fired at the police, who were also
assailed with shower of bricks, clubs and
other handy missiles. In reply. the police
fired over the heads Of the mob and kept
them At bay. while their prisoner was car
ried away and additional police protection
secured. Nearly 5000 Poles stormed and
ragged about the officers, but no further vi
olence was attempted. Halt q dozen po-
licemen were badly battered and bruised
but none were fatally injured. A few Poles
were also hurt but their companions imme-
diately carried them away so that the ex.
tent of their injuries cannot belearned. To-
night the police are guarding the disturbed
district, but no further trouble is anticipa-
ted tonight. The convent windows were
badly shattered by bricks.

HAsE1NGs, Neb. March 19.-Dr. w. W.
Randall of this city was arrested Wednes.
day night for committing rape upon the
person OF Miss Hart of Edmar, II years old.
The girl was placed under his care for treat.
ment. The crime was committed one week
ago. To-day he was arraigned. just after
the examination closed and Randall had
been placed under Sc, 900 bonds, brother
OF the girl pulled out revolver and before
any person was aware of his intentions,
shot Randall dead. He then turned and
walked out Of court and dieap-
peared, and no person has ta-
ken the trouble to 60 for him as
the shooting is looked upon as justifable
From the evidence produced it appears as
though Randall and his wife. who was on
trial with him, have made it practice to
ruin young girls and place them in houses
OF ill-fame. Mrs. Randall is now in Gus
tody of the sheriff. She is quartered in
her boarding house. which is surrounded
by large mob, who, although not violent,
seem determined to do something desper-
ate. and the chances are that before to-
morrow's sun shines she will have followed
her husband.

An Entire Village In Danger of Beina
Consumed,
ERIE, Pa, March 2O.-A telephone mes
sage to the Dispatch says: At few min
utes after 10 o'clock, the resid ents OF Chau
tauqua discovered a fire in what is known at
structures in the village which has been un'
occupied for some time. The town po sess
es a small volunteer fire department which
was at once called out, arriving at the
scene OF the fire aJ 1890. Some trouble
was had with the apparatus which had not
been used for long time. In the meantime
the fire had gained good headway and
spread to the adjoining buildings, taking
such a firm hold that the apparatus Ia
hand pump) was OF little avail.
Everything possible was done by the fire.
men and the residents of eighboring houses
made all haste to remove their goods to a
place of safety. In the meantime the fire
continued to make steady progress up
Townsend avenue. which lies along the
bank of lake. working it's way toward
the hotel and outbuildings of the Chau-
tauqua Assembly. At II o'clock it had
reached the corner of Pareah and Town
send streets, and sprea |, taking in two
streets. At this time upward of thirty
seven buildings were on fire, and absolutely
nothing could be done. Appeals were sent
to Brockton and Dunkirk, but
owing to the detective fire depart
ments of these places, none could
be sent. The last report recaived from the
scene OF the fire was at midnight, and the
employees of the telephone office are moving
out their goods, stating that the fire was
only two doors distant. The whole atten.
ton of the fire department and residents
was devoted to getting out household
goods. Owing to the proximity of the fire,
the telephone operator, the only source OF
news in the place, was unwilling to give
the news and would not take
time to state who owned the burned build
ings. He stated, however, that they were
nearly all the property of summer resi-
dents, and that the damage would figure
way up in the thousands. At that time
the fire had taken hold upon the new and
magnificent hoiel and was making rapid
work of it. Owing to the imminent destruc-
tion OF the telephone station, it is exceed
ingly improbable whether further news can
be obtained tonight.
2:4O a. m.-The Hotel Athenium has
been saved and the fire is now under con-
troll. Asteamer which had been ordered
from Cory will not now be required and
order has been sent. No
estimate of loss can be made tonight. The
fire in effect burned itself out.
